Hi, let me join this conversation though I dont know if anyone will read this... Few months ago I bought this kite from Andy. As many of us may have experienced there is a lot of deceit between human creatures all over the world. But nevertheless I never stopped trusting and so I trusted Andy. He sent me this kite from Australia to Germany and the only ones who treid to fck me were those from the customs. F-Arcs have become something like a kite religion for me and the version Andy made out of 2 16 m kites is the best F-Arc EVER. One evening on the beach there was not enough wind to inflate that kite so I pumped it up with a plastic bag in which I caught air and then held it into the opening at the trailing edge to press it in. Running a bit backwards the kite began to fly in the last moving air. Running around and flying a 360. When the kite was in the centre of the wind window I jumped into my buggy and started the ride. As it happens to F-Arcs the wind caused by being in motion was added and the pull got stronger. Flysurfer kites falling down and passing them with that yellow thing moving the buggy. Sorry for you all. I do understand people who dont trust. But you really missed a fracking good kite.

It's been a while since I've flown or visited the forum but this news report of Geoff Wilson's being dragged across the Simpson desert by kite was a nice surprise reminder that there are still some landkiters around.

After waiting for more than three months because of the Covid back log, I picked up my Soul2 10m a couple of days ago. Yesterday I put it together, gave it a good looking over then headed to the beach to fly it in 8 knots. I was immediately blown away and excited by how much quicker it turned being a 10m and on the shorter 17m lines compared to my 12m and the 20m lines. Very responsive. Then I thought I would see if I could get going on the land board in so little wind. To my surprise it wasn't to hard, turning the kite quicker to generate more power made it surprisingly good fun for such a light wind day. Today I drove to Byron Bay desperate to get on the water with it. No wind up at Kingscliff but Byron was showing some. I got a small window where there was enough wind and the rain stopped. Again I was blown away by how easy it was to turn the kite quickly and generate comparable power to the 12m Soul in these conditions. I was the only twin tip out there, all the other kiters were on foil boards. I came out of the water with a big smile on my face. This kite is a joy to fly and I can't wait to really put it to the test in some decent wind. I will do a full review at some point, once I have some more time to fly it. Watch this space...
